From North Carolina. Raleigh, May 25. --The Progress's Kinston correspondent, under date of yesterday, says: 3,000 Yankees attacked our pickets, consisting of three regiments, at Gum Spring, Friday, surprised and routed them. We had several wounded, and fifty to one hundred taken prisoners. We took eight prisoners. Gen Hill forced the enemy back and drove them to within eight miles of Newbern. The Colonel commanding the Yankees is reported killed. The enemy burnt the Court-House and other buildings at Trenton, Jones county, Friday, and plundered the citizens as they went. Goldsboro', May 25.--A number of Abolition prisoners arrived here this evening from Kinston, seven being the captain and crew of the schooner Seabird, captured last Thursday, twenty miles below Wilkinson's Point, on the Neuse, and forty miles below Newbern, by six men of Capt. Barrington's company, of Whitford's battalion. The schooner and cargo of Government stores was burnt.
